Trump touts Fox News report that border wall could pay for itself

President Trump on Tuesday touted a report from Fox News citing the Center for Immigration Studies that claimed his proposed wall on the U.S.-Mexican border could "pay for itself" over a decade.

The report, first reported by The New York Post, claims that $18 billion in funding for a border wall system on the United States's southern border would pay for itself by curbing crime and the flow of undocumented immigrants over the border.

ďThe wall could pay for itself even if it only modestly reduced illegal crossings and drug smuggling,Ē CIS's research director Steven Camerota told the Post.

The report comes as Trump heads to California to look at prototypes of his long-talk about project. Trump is set to see prototypes of the border wall, which have been constructed near the U.S.-Mexico border near San Diego.

9. Thanks for saving me the trouble of finding this. I had a feeling CIS was BS

Thank you for the link. I was just about to go search and find out who is behind the CIS. I correctly assumed that because they were on FAUX Noise and because of the convenient opinion they gave, they must be reich-wingers with a bias.
